One of the things that distinguishes FATCO is the quality of it's training...that's certainly exemplified here.  Hats off to Mike Sampson and Pam Edwards, First American Title's crack marketing group from the Portland Eastside Team.  They (and their counterparts from FATCO's other area branches) ...

If you use a standard broker there's not much benefit to calling very far ahead of making a move.  Of course, I suggest employing a full service wealth development specialist (WDS).  I suggest that the initial conversations start 1-2 years prior to disposition and 6 months ahead of acquisition.  ...

My intent with this site is to create an area where readers can learn about multifamily real estate and the market in general.  Rarely do I commercialize the site with information about a specific opportunity.  I depart from that with this post as there is an investor who urgently needs your and...

My friend Doug Foley, CCIM was kind enough to permit me to co-host a portion of the Northwest Real Estate Investor's Association (NWREIA) August Multifamily Focus Group on August 18th. I thought that a review of the basics might be a good start...so I included a brief overview of NOI, CAP Rate, a...

I have previously saluted Holly Bray of Love Funding as a real commercial lending pro.  Below is an article she wrote that she wrote describing one of the most liberal multifamily loans on the market today...and with rates in the mid to upper five percent range.  These are non recourse loans. Sub...

I am a huge proponent of specialization.  I focus on Portland multifamily assets ranging from 8 to 80 units.  Have I worked on leasing, single family homes, larger commercial properties or deals in other states?  Sure!  Probably will again, too!  But I feel that Robert Redford got it right when h...
